Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Giovanni! Giovanni is a white German Shepherd . He may have something else mixed in but we aren’t sure. He is just over a year old and is about 70 pounds. He’s fully grown now but might still put on a little more weight. Giovanni had a rough start in life. He stuck to his fearless brothers’ side and was too nervous to come near us without him. But with a lot of patience and kindness, he’s come a long way! He recently completed a two month training course with Guardian Angels, a training program for rescue dogs in Oklahoma! He learned how to walk on a leash, wait, sit and down. Forgive him though he didn’t learn how to smile for pictures so he’s always got a little bit of a goofy look on his face. He’s shy about meeting new people and dogs but will warm up very quickly. He loves dogs! He’s made a lot of progress with them and is truly a fantastic dog to be around. Giovanni does need someone who can have patience with a young and shy dog, but if you can do that you’ll have a truly special dog to call your friend! We can’t wait for him to have a home he can call his own.
Interested in becoming a forever home for Giovanni? Fill out our online adoption application: http://www.friendswithfourpaws.org/adoption-form.html This is the first step in our process, and we don't go any further without an application.
Find more adoptable pets, news and information on Instagram @friendswithfourpaws or our Facebook page Friends with Four Paws.
We put a lot of time and energy into processing our adoptions to find our babies the best fit home for them and you. Please do not submit an application if you are not serious about adopting Poncho.
We are so excited to work with you to find you a new forever friend, and Poncho the perfect forever home, and appreciate you working with us.
For immediate consideration, please attach your application to the initial inquiry to help us expedite the process.
Our adoption fee is $525. This includes their spay/neuter surgery, full (age appropriate) vaccinations, microchip insertion and registration, deworming, heartworm testing and prevention, flea and tick prevention and travel expenses.
All of our dogs are rescued from local shelters and the general public. Each dog is then placed in a foster home where he/she is kept for quarantine, to ensure if the dog gets sick it can receive proper treatment. We have foster homes in the NJ/NY area waiting to receive their fosters. Once an animal has received an application or there's an adopter interested, we make arrangements for transport. If a dog is already in foster care in NYC/NJ, an adopter will be put in touch with the foster home AFTER an application is being processed.
Thank you in advance for your patience with our process and for making adoption YOUR option!
